    The fact is that if more people did their research and looked at the facts, OZbama and crew should be trailing by double digits in every category. OZbama has lied, distorted facts and covered up all of his failures, with the help of the Lame Stream Media. POLLS

    The way the news media is skewering the polls one would think that Romney should just go home....Like when Regan ran the news media swore that the polls showed Carter up by 10 points even to the end!!

    Not surprising since the middle class is paying for all the entitlements to a lot of people who don't want to work.

    But among just middle class voters... they have a tie at 48% each.

    Or you can just read for yourself...

    The title of the article is President Obama pulls ahead of Mitt Romney

    The mainstearm media and the polsters weight the democrats by 9 to 13 points in order to show Obama up by 1 or 2 points...we are being lied to by the media and our president...

    Amazing anyone would support the candidate that wants to transfer wealth from the middle class to the very rich.

    Please explain how this would happen? You have fallen for Obama's lie hook, line and sinker. Romney has no desire to take money from the middle class and trasfer it to the wealthy...what a moron you are.

    Shows what you know. You are aware are you not that Mitt wants to do away with the death tax? Guess what this does? At the present time only a small percentage of estates are subject to estate tax. If this tax is done away with, the middle class may be subject to capital gains on inherited property. So the wealthy will not be taxed on their estates, but the middle class may be subject to capital gains. I think that qualifies as a transfer of wealth. Also I am sure you must have seen that analysis that says Mitt's tax plan would increase the tax on the middle class by an average of $2,000

    deny it if you want but it is the truth. You realize that for one year there was no death tax right? There are ways to avoid estate taxes. It just takes a little planning. Sure beats having a rich upper class that does not need to work. We have that as it is but they have to work at keeping their wealth. Stimulates the economy with accountants, lawyers, actuaries. lol

    For capital gains see:

    Why should you pay taxes? Because you (America) demanded services such as a military industrial complex equal almost to the rest of the world combined. You demanded a prison industrial complex second to none. Well these things have to be paid for. I have let my representatives know that they can cut the military industrial complex by 50% and end the war on drugs. That would take a lot of pressure off the need for taxes. But until this country takes a more logical approach to drugs and foreign relations, we need to pay big bucks for nothing.

    That's probably true if the poll was conducted in middle-class Kansas. Middle-class Florida? I'm not so sure.

    Personally, I think they both suck, hence the "Undecided" ("Other" would have worked better for me).

    Tx! Since that's where he got his government experience, that matters.

    In 1988 I asked my college roommate (Lexington, MA) whether I should vote for Dukakis, and she said "Not if you want our friendship to last." After I finished laughing, I asked her for specifics, which she had LOTS of. Trust the people who lived it -- they're in the best position to know the FACTS, no hype, spin, or drugs.

    I'm not voting for any of these Yahoos, 3rd party for me. I must say, however, that I don't think this poll is connected to reality unless they define middle-class as income up to $250,000/yr. If the poll IS is true it, shows the overwhelming stupidity of the 55% of "middle class" people willing to vote against their own interests. Romney is the ultimate class warrior.

    First, I am not a supporter of 'Romney/Ryan'. Their eyes tell a story.
    They keep on attacking Obama Administration ...
    where they should be focused on the task at hand.
    What are your plans? Do you have a plan of action?

    How do you plan on representing all people.
    There is so much more than meets the eye.
    It is not just about low, medium or high class.
    It is about people from all races, from all religion; from different 'marital status', from different generations

    I also find Romney with a total lack of respect for Women.
    Sometimes I often wonder if he 'looks down at people'.

    I also did not take fancy to Romney when he 'will get the oil that is rightfully ours'.
    If I was a political person in Canada ...
    this would be an alarm ... a warning sign ... red flag alert

    Again approving the use of the 'empty chair' during his Romney convention further showed me a total lack of disrespect. Were all the decorations ... balloons ... environment friendly?

    Obama is not running away. He wants to see things through.
    Perhaps this time he will get co-operation from all members of the senate to grow USA.
    People will need to put some feelings aside & compromise on future plans moving forward
    It is not by attacking each other that you will succeed.

    Surprised Politico is reporting this! But very encouraging! The middle-class is a large group. If people DON'T wake up and smell the stench in the air w/ Obama, THEY are going to be responsible for the demise of the Country.

    That's right. The POLITICIANS and GREEDY BANKSTERS didn't do anything wrong, it's all Obama's fault, and if the Middle Class doesn't boot him, it will be all THEIR fault. How nice for you that your asylum lets inmates use computers, but you should e-mail your family and your doc instead of SH -- you still need help.

    But unfortunately the middle class has shrunk and is now only about 63,500 families.
